The voice prompt interaction allows you to upload or record custom voice prompts for use in your applications and dialplans. To access this interaction click on ConfigurationVoice Prompts in the administrator's interface.

Generally you can add prompts (audio files) to ipbx in two ways:

  1. By uploading a Wave audio file, see uploading a prompt
  2. By recording it via the ipbx's built in prompt recording service, see recording a prompt.

Prompts list

The prompts list displays all currently available custom voice prompts. Click on the delete Cross.gif button to delete or the edit Edit.gif button to change the name of your prompt. To re-record your voice prompt and replace it click on Record.gif To play the file back as WAV, click on Speaker.gif.

Uploading a Prompt

To upload a prompt, click on the upload prompt button. The supported upload formats are WAV, GSM or SLN. Uploaded prompts will always be converted to SLN and automatically adjusted for volume.

Recording a Prompt

To record a prompt from your phone, simply enter a descriptive filename and select a channel to record from. The channel name is usually equal to your extension number SIP/[EXTENSION NO.] or IAX2/[EXTENSION NO]. So for example if you are ready to record at extension 1001 you would select SIP/1001 and enter your file name 'test' etc. Ipbx will call you and ask you to record your new voice prompt.

When finished with your recording press the pound (hash) key #
